Today is my anniversary. And while thinking about it this morning, I came up with what I will call "The Essential Core of Relationships." It doesn't necessarily mean marriage, but rather any relationship--friends, employers/employees, co-workers, neighbors, teacher/student, etc. For me, the essential core of ANY relationship is respect. We have to respect the wishes of others, the beliefs of others, the morals and standards of others. We have to respect their opionions, their choices, and their actions. Without mutual respect, there is NO relationship. Do you agree? If not, tell me what the essential core is...Your comments--priceless!!

I post daily. So that you don't miss any of my randomness, you might want to subscribe by email.
